Darien wished there was a faster way home than the plane he was currently on. When Malachite had called, he had been getting back from a long run and was in a decent mood. However, those first words out of Malachite's mouth stopped his heart.
Flashback
"Hey Mal, what's up? Is Serena there? Can I talk to her?" Darien asked.
"We have a problem, Darien." Mike said. Darien stopped and completely went still and rigid. Some of the wolves who were around watched and waited for the news. "Serena's missing, along with her friend Mina."
"WHAT?" Darien roared. "I told you to look after her!"
"We were! She was shopping with Mina. They had gone to try some things on and then went to buy the outfits. I was waiting for her outside, but she didn't come out. When Jack and I went back inside he followed her scent trail to the back exit. There were two mystery people who took her and Mina."
"Just two? Serena could fight off two men or vampires for that matter, especially if one had to deal with Mina."
"There was chloroform in the air as well. From what we're guessing, she probably did put up a fight, but they came prepared. This would also be why no one noticed. It was quiet kidnapping."
"You think it was the vamps?" Darien growled.
"Positive. The two mystery men's smell reeked of bloodsucker." Mike said. "We have people posted throughout town just in case some vamps talk. We also went ahead and bugged Diamond's store."
"I want her found, Mike, before anything happens."
"We're already on it."
"I'm getting the first flight back." Darien said. "There better be news for me when I get there."
"We hope we'll have her back by then." Malachite said. Darien grunted and slammed his phone shut.
"There's a flight leaving in a hour and another leaving in two and a half…" Marcus said.
"I want the one in an hour." Darien said.
"What exactly happened?" Marcus asked quietly.
"Two vampires kidnapped Serena and her human friend Mina while they were shopping."
"Do you want the rest of us to come back?"
"It would be appreciated." Darien said. "The more people we have the quicker we can find her hopefully." Darien stalked off, finding his clothes and quickly pulling them on.
End Flashback
Darien had barely made the flight, but he made it none the less. The others would be coming on a later flight, and a few would be staying to make sure the deals would go through. Darien wished he could stay and help, but he had to get back and put the vampires were they belonged, six feet under.
When the plane landed Darien made his way through the crowd and was happy to see someone had the intelligence to send a car for him. He threw his carry on in the back and told the driver he would be driving. The younger wolf nodded and moved to the passenger seat. Darien turned on the car and as soon as he was out of the airport crowd, sped towards Abby and Ivan's home.
When Darien arrived he noticed a few more cars than usual outside. He stormed into the house and found that Mike and Jack had set up control center in the living room. They had computers with the live feeds coming from the cameras they had set up around town.
"She still hasn't been found?" Darien asked.
"No sign of any of the vamps. They're preparing for something, that's for sure. Not one has made an appearance." Mike said.
"And the store?"
"For sale." Jack replied.
"I want to find out where she is. Tonight, I want a group to circle the town. I want you to trace the city's scent. When you come upon Serena's or a vamps you call in and then chase it as long as it's safe."
"Will you be joining them?" Mike asked.
"I will. I'm going to head to my apartment and get some clothes first. I'll be back within the hour." Darien said. He left just as quickly as he had come in. His heart was still racing and he knew it would be until Serena was back in his arms.
oOoOoOo
Serena groaned as she woke up. Her mouth was dry and cottony. What she would give for a glass of water… then again… she should be careful for what she wished for. Serena opened her eyes and noticed she was on a large King Bed. The cover was silver and white. The bed had a silver frame at the head and the frame. That's when she noticed her foot chained to the end of the bed.
"Serena?" She heard a whimper and swung her head around. A small cot had been set up next to the bed. Mina was huddled up on his. Her arms were wrapped around her knees and she was shaking.
"Mina, are you ok? Did they do anything to you?"
"They tied me to the bed." Mina said. "But that's it."
"Alright, well I'm chained to the frame as well."
"Serena, I heard a few of them talking. They were talking about drinking blood… are they vampires?"
"Ya…"
"Are you a vampire?"
"No, I'm something completely else." Serena said. She continued to look around the room. There was a window on one wall, but there was a steel wall in front of it. A door to a bathroom was across from the bed and a door to what Serena presumed was the rest of the place they were in was on the wall adjacent to the bed.
"What are you then?" Mina asked.
"She is a werewolf, and a beautiful one at that, I'm sure." Serena snapped her head to the speaker. She heard Mina gasp, but it wasn't the time to worry about her secret.
"Diamond. What the hell are you planning?" She spat.
"Simply… an extermination of a vermin." Diamond replied. "But I found quite a beautiful specimen so I've decided to keep you."
"How nice of you." Serena replied sarcastically.
"I'd be nicer than that, now." Diamond replied. He walked up next to the bed that Serena was laying on. He ran his finger up her bare leg till it met her shorts. Serena tried to swat away, but Diamond just grabbed her hands. "No hitting."
"I wasn't planning on hitting you. I was planning a lot more than that." Serena growled.
"Before you even try to change, you can't. There's a reason my brother and I created that shop. We've had witches in our coven before and they gave us some of their secrets. That anklet that's attached to the bed… it won't let you change. In fact I've heard it can be quite painful if you try."
Serena looked down at her anklet and tried to form another plan. "So you're going to kill my mate, my family, my pack?"
"That's the current plan."
"And I'm just supposed to be some collector's item?"
"No, you'll come to love life here. I'm sure we can also find a way to help you adjust to the life of a vampire."
"You plan on changing me?"
"We're working on it." Diamond shrugged. "Don't worry, we'll help you." Diamond petted Serena's head, but she tried to snap at him, but Diamond instantly retracted his hand and laughed.
"What about Mina? She doesn't belong in the middle of this." Serena said.
"We'll find some use for her, I'm sure." Diamond said. "I'm sure when we move we'll need a snack or something." Serena growled and Mina let out a strangled sob. "Why don't you ladies get some rest? I'll have someone in here when you wake up so you can shower and change. O, Serena, that white dress is just magnificent. I think you should change into that."
"O hell no." Serena growled.
"Fine, you can wear what I picked out for you then…" Diamond grinned. He closed the door behind him. Serena heard him give instructions to the men outside the door before he walked down the hall.
"Serena, what's going to happen? Am I really going to die?" Mina asked.
"I don't plan on it." Serena replied.
"So you're really a werewolf? And Diamond… he's a vampire?" Mina asked.
"Ya."
"What about Darien? Mike? Jack?"
"Darien's a werewolf. We're the alpha's of our pack actually. Mike and Jack have always been Darien's friends. Mike's like his beta. Darien was looking at some new land for us to move to so he asked Mike and Jack to watch me, especially when he heard that Diamond had tried to talk to me when I went on a walk last week." Serena explained. "I'm sorry Mina, but this really isn't the time to talk about this."
"You look confused…" Mina said.
"I am. It's like I've been in a room like this before. I can't remember where though. It's just so… so familiar." Serena sighed. "I just… I just can't put my finger on it…"
